But death goes about the earth also, riding a broom

lapping the ground in search of the dead -

death is in the broom,

it is the tongue of death looking for the dead,

the needle of death looking for the thread.

"Death Alone" - pablo Neruda in 1940

[mpunyr]

I do not know, I am ignorant, I hardly see

but it seems to me that its song has the colour of wet violets,

violets well used to the earth,

since the face of death is green,

and the gaze of death green

with the etched moisture of a violet's leaf

and its grave colour of exasperated winter.

You know not what you ought to know!

Blessed be thee for what you know.

Thou hands shall be cut for thy truth

But in thy mind it will grew once again.

Bellari.
